AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn is four days into practice, and head coach Gus Malzahn is scheduled to speak with the media after the Tigers wrap things up.

Follow along here for live updates from Malzahn's press conference.

** Auburn will be scrimmaging on Saturday, Malzahn said.

** Malzahn says that Gray King, a walk-on receiver, has a chance to earn playing time.

** Sophomore defensive end Elijah Daniel was held out of practice today, but it's not expected to be a big thing.

** Malzahn says Xavier Dampeer has adjusted well to a difficult job. The center's job is almost as tough as the quarterback's.

** Malzahn says Auburn's focused on the zone read with Jeremy Johnson, that's a big point of emphasis.

** Robenson Therezie's cast on his left hand is nothing to worry about.

** Auburn is rotating a lot of players with its first, second and third units. For instance, Tony Stevens, who was with the third team in the pace drills this morning, has practiced with the first team, too.

** Malzahn is downplaying the impact of who's with the starters.

** So far, the Tigers are happy with a lot of the way the young defensive backs have moved forward.

** Malzahn, on the kicker and punter: "They're going to be new. That's my biggest concern. ... All of them competing for the job are talented."

** Malzahn, on the running backs, says that once the coaches evaluate the backs, they'll give them specific roles.

** So far, Malzahn's been pleased with Auburn's ability to execute at a fast pace.

** Auburn is rotating four players at H-back.

** A few guys are cross-training -- i.e., trying other spots -- and Auburn's doing some of that with the experienced players.

** Malzahn on receivers: "Our goal is two-deep at each position. There were times last year we wanted to rest our receivers, but he couldn't."
